About this listen
In 1821, Wolfgang Amadé Mozart reflects on his brushes with death, including the one that nearly killed him in 1791. Now settled into a sylvan old age in America with his wife, two sons, and grandchildren, the world-famous composer gives testament to his life and career.
In the thirty years of extra time he was granted, he not only wrote more operas—including one that changed the course of history—but also he engaged with key people of his times: composers like Haydn and Beethoven, musicians and singers like Nancy Storace and Luigi Cherubini, along with European royalty and American financiers and politicians like John Jacob Astor and Thomas Jefferson.
While gratified by his creations and successes, Mozart remains burdened with guilt, as he weighs the price of his gifts on those around him.

Story
Joey was one of the most accomplished pianists in the world during classical music’s last grand heyday at the end of the 20th century. He lived a luxurious life, and his performances in the great concert halls were globally televised. He was known even to people who do not follow music. But at the height of his career, before age 50, he suddenly and without explanation retired from playing. This set off a chain of press speculation as to why this consummate artist fell silent. Now, a biographer is seeking both mother and son, sensing a potentially explosive story.

Story
Smuggling is supposed to be the kind of job where you're in, you're out, and no one ever knew you were there. Simple. Boring, even. But that's only when you're doing it right. Unfortunately, Avery and the rest of the crew of the Kingfisher have hit a snag, one in the form of a strange woman living in a hallway ceiling at Installation 23, and from there on out, it seems like they're ever only one jump ahead of the next guy looking to kill them.
